The Boss Carpenters Unable to Agree.


Not less than fifty boss carpenters were pres
ent at their adjourned meeting at the Builders,
Exchange last night to consider the proposition
from the journeymen for nine hours as days
work, with pay and a half for all tins over nine
hours and advance of 10 per cent. over last
years wages. Conrad Bender presided and L.
F. Burton acted secretary. The committee
from the journeymens organization was present
and submitted the proposition. The bosses
seemed to be generally in favor OF accepting the
proposition, but the planning mill representatives
objected Messrs Reuter-, Shaaf and Huey
stated that they could not, under any consii-
GRAFTON, afford to work but nine hours and
bitterly opposed the acceptance of the PROPOSE
ton. MIR. Routier moved that the proposition
be dsregarded, and that the contractors employ
men for whatever they could secure them for.
The resolution, after long discussion. was voted
down. Joseph Davis, on behalf of the journey
men workmer, spoke at length. and urged the
bosses to elevate the business by granting short
er time and advanced wages. At late hour no
conclusion could be reached, and the meeting ad-
journed until next Monday evening.

DISSATISFIED WORKMEN.

The Carpenters Employed on the New State
House Threaten to Strike To-Day.
Tks carpenters and -joiners employed on the
new State house will probably quit work this
morning. There is no special dissatisfaction
with the wages, but the workmen complain that
they have not received any pay for their servi-
ces during the last month. This is due,
it is understood. to the failure Of the
Commissioners to allow the contractor
enough of his estimate to enable him to pay his
employees in full AS the estimates are allowed
on the 10th of each month, the men think they
will now get no money until the middle Of next
month and it is their intention to try to enforce
payment by striking. Their dissatisfaction has
been encouraged considerably by the recent en-
actment of law requiring the payment Of
wages at least every two weeks and the men
insist that if it applies to anybody it ought to be
OF some benefit to the workmen employed in the
building where the bill was made a law, and
they seem to have an idea that the State is in a
measure responsible for their failure get their
pay promptly. 1t was reported last night that
the men. numbering between fftyand sixty, had
quietly agreed to step work to-day.

Sullivan Removed.

DUBLIN, Dec. 6.-Lord Mayor Sulli-
van, who was convicted of publishing in
his paper, the Nation, accounts of pro-
claimed branches of the National league
and sentenced to two months impriSOn-
ment, has been removed to the Tulla-
more Jail, in order to prevent his hold
ing daily levees, as he was doing in the
jail here. The removal of Lord Mayor
Sullivan from Dublin to Tullamore was
an act of petty persecution, whice is be-
meath contempt. Ostensibly the change
was made to prevent the lord mayor
from holding receptions in the jail,
which, it was claimed, partoOk of the
character of Ovations to the distin-
guiShed prisoner; but the real object of
his removal was to make his term of in
generation as unpleasant and impose
upon him as great degree of hardship
as possible, since his sentence does not
permit his keepers to exact the perform
ance of labor. The Dublin magistrates
will continue their visits to Mr.. Sulli-
van, however, there being no way in
which they can legally be prevented.
Mr.. Sullivan is still lord mayor of Dub
lin, and in such capacity cannot be de-
barred from consultation with the mag
istrates of the city, nor can the latter be
denied their right to confer with their
superior officer.

THE MESSAGE,
General Opinion of Congressman
Regarding the Document.

Regarding the Document.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-While the
presidents message was not of an en-
tirely unexpected character, yet the pro-
tectiOnists could not help being startled
at its bold sentences. The greatest at
tentiOn was accorded the reading, par
ticularly by the Republicans. SatiSfac-
ton was shown on the face of every
tariff refOrmer in the house, and some
of the enthusiasts were almost hySter-
ical in their suppressed feelings. Mr..
Springer's face was wreathed in smiles
and Mr.. Mills sat with hand at each
ear with a look OF pleasure ON his face
Mr.. Randall sat quietly in his seat. Civ
ing marked attention till the reading
was nearly through, when he took up the
printed copy of the message and began
reading for himself. The message
seemed to cause more of sensation
among the Republicans than with the
Democrats. Nearly every one pro-
n0unced it an unique document and de-
cidedly forcible. The reading of the
presidents message in the senate was
listened to with attention, but very
many of the senators after adjourn
ment, upon being asked for their Opin-
ion of the document, said they pre-
ferred to examine it more closely be-
fore declaring themselves. The judg-
ment of the senate may be summarized
generally by stating that the Democrats
pronounce it an able state paper, while
the Republicans say it is free trade
message, intended to influence the
house in behalf of free trade legislation.

VIENNA, Dee. 6.-The rally on the
Boerse due to the election of NJ. Sadi-
Carnot as president of France, was only
transient. Prices fell to-day ON the
rumors that Russian troops were being
massed on the frontier. ln-the evening
Austrian and Hungarial rentes fell
heavily and gold rose. The Pesther
Lloyd says: 1.-The situation is undeni
ably most serious. Russia's attitude is
so threatening that we cannot but think
that war is inevitable"
1t is rumored that Germany and Aus
tria have sent joint note to st. Peters
burg asking the Russian government to
explain its massing of troops on the
frontiers.
BERLIN. Dee. 6.-There is rumor
here that Russia is concentrating mil

These rumOrS have revived the feeling
of uneasiness concerning Russia's in

VIENNA, Dec. GA Berlin letter,

sian cavalry movements in the vicinity
of the Austrian frontier were due to the
scarcity of forage in the districts in
which the cavalry had been stationed.

of political economy and social science
in the University of Mississippi. and in
1861 was transferred to the professor
ship of law; was elected to the Forty
third congress of the United States, and
reelected to the FOrty-fOurth congress;
was elected to the United States senate
as a Democrat, to succeed James Lusk
Alcorn, Independent, and took
his seat March 5, 1877:
las reelected in 1882, and re-
n'ained in the senate until the 9Th of
.Aarch, 1885, when he was nominated
and Immediately Onfirmed secretary of
the interior. He was married to widow,
being himself a wid0wer, in Deem
Der, 1886, the lady of his choice being
the love of his youth, from whom he
was separated by cruel fate. He is
man of striking features and independ-
ent character. His hair is worn long,
and he would look like typical pro-
fesSOr of theology but for the fact that
his mustache and gOatee are fierce
enough to produce the effect of trans
forming his pleasant face into the make
up of an Italian bandit His gait and
manner are those of a man who thinks
profoundly and who is utterly indiffer-
ent to his surroundings. The affairs of
the interior department have bothered
him but little. He wisely left much to
his subordinates. They love to work
and show their zeal. Lamar permits
them to do so.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

A Prospect that the Various Re-
publican Groups Will COalesce.
PARIS, Dec. Cit is expected that NJ.
Goblet will be prime minister in the
new cabinet, and that NJ. Flourens will
retain the portfolio of minister of for
eign affairs. The chambers have ad-
jOurned until Saturday. A subscription
ton has been started to raise fund for
the purpose of erecting monument to
the great CarnOt, grandfather of the
president. The extremists still continue
to oppose the retention of Gen. Saussier
as governor of Paris. President Sadi-
Carnot, in an interview with M. Gle
menceau to-day insisted upon the neceS-
sity of union of all the Republicans i'll
the chambers, first to show foreigners
that Republicans can agree, land second
in order that they may vote an honest
and sincere budget. NJ. Clemenceau
fully Endorsed the presidents views.
The accord between President Sadi-
Carnot and NJ. Clemenceau is regarded
as good omen of the future of the re-
public. The president to-day received
NJ. Ribot and other leading politicians.
President CarnOt appears to be more
than ever master of the situation. His
insiStence upon the cohesion of the Re-
Ids IltI Will ScIcldl dC-
quiescence on the part of the leaders of
the groups, and the pledge of support
to the new executive by NJ. Clemenceau
removes any possibility of an Opposi-
ton strong enough to obstruct business
or cause the government to sWerve in
the slightest from the conservative pol
icy mapped out.
NJ. Sadi-CarnOt in an interview with
NJ. Clemenceau to-day said he was under
no illusion that he had been chosen as
president for his own merits. He had
an earnest desire to do his duty and sink
self on every occasion when his per-
sOnal views might conflict with the pub
lie interest. While admitting that there
must always exist two great republican
parties, the president said it would
be possible in elections for
them to unite against their
common enemy, the mOnarchistS.
NJ. Clemenceau, replying, deprecated
the idea of taking men from the various
groups to form the cabinet, irrespective
of their platforms. He said union of
the parties could be better effected on
the adoption of certain principles as a
basis of action.

GETTING EVEN.
An Offensive Partisan Maligning
Public Printer Benedict.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Public Printer
Benedict discovered an exceedingly
offensive partisan, and treated him to
an exceedingly effective bounce. The
dismissed Blaineite is now travelling
the length and breadth of Newspaper
row telling his grievances and inducing
Republican correspondents to publish
scandalOuS stories concerning Mr.. Bene-
dict. He says that there were agents
of the New York Democracy admitted
to the government printing Office for the
purpose of assessing the employees and
taking their money for campaign pur-
poses. He AYERS that men and women
alike were compelled to contribute to
the fund under threat of dismissal from
the service. There seems to be no
foundation for the story. If such assess
ments were made they were made with
out the knowledge or consent of Mr..
Benedict. The employees of the govern
ment printing office who have been
questioned know nothing of the case.
Several of them are hold-over Republi-
cans, and would willingly tell of such
thing if it were true. But they one and
all deny it. However, the lie is travel
ing the rounds, and it may as well be
nailed before it grows into big libel.

Signs of Feminine Warfare.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The wife of
an ex-member of congress from Mime
sofa is expected here to play leading
role in society during the winter. Dur
ing the last days of her husbands term,
not many years ago, she made it her
business to say great many abusive
things concerning prominent Mime
to the ears of the injured and aggrieved
party. If the wife of the eX-cOngress-
man is wise she will defer her visit, be-
cause there is a league formed which
might make her stay rather unpleasant;
and she would not reign as an I'M
questioned queen. Those little, spite
full things which women say about each
other sometimes react, and become dan
gerouS as boomerangS. But women will
be jealous of each other; and, being
jealous, they are frequently unwise.

After Hearing the Presidents
Message Both Houses Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-After the
reading of the journal in the senate to-
day the presiding officer aaked whether
it was the pleasure of the senate to pro-
ceed with the usual morning business.
Mr.. Harris suggested that bills and me-
MORALS might be introduced and re-
ferred. Mr.. Hoar opposed the prOpo-
sitiOn, stating that it was an ancient
custom of the senate not to enter upon
any business until after hearing the
communication from the president
at the beginning of the session. That
was.a mark of respect due from the leg
islative department 0s the government
to the executive. He therefore moved
recess for half an hour. The motion
was agreed to: After:the recess had
been extended for quarter of an hour
longer Mr.. Morrill, reported that the
joint committee appointed to wait upon
the president had been informed that
the president would Immediately COM
mnnicate with congress in writing.

plantations. His father was man of
rare intellect and high cultivation. Cir
cumStanceS MADE it necessary for young
Dickinson TO earn his own way to edu-
cation, and he accomplished it at
school and college with his own
means, gained at first by manual labor
and later by an exceptional capacity
and Judgment for all business, and re-
markable faculty for turning Off work
and for responsibility. Admitted to the
bar when barely twenty-one. he rose
rapidly in his profession, and from
the age of twenty-five he had been a
leading lawyer in his state, and from
the age of thirty one of the first coun-
sci in the Northwest. His name has
every famous litigation in Michigan,
and in the supreme court of the United
States, his record of successes has been
brilliant. Mr.. DickinsOn's contest in
behalf of the state courts against the
alleged invasion of their jurisdiction by
the federal Judiciary under the bank
ruptcy law was quasi-political in its
character, and in the supreme
the LIE RouX case, after seven
years of defeats in the lower courts, his
position was sustained. His latest
widely known appearance in that court
was in the great telephone contest
where he made the leading argument
for Drawbaugh against Bell, and
associated with Senator EdmundS and
Lysander Hill. His professional income
runs from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum.
In politics Mr.. Dickinson is Jeffer-
sOnian Democrat, believing in domestic
selfgOvernment, strict construction
of the constitution, and opposing class
legislation. in which he embraces all
protective laws. But he advises care
and caution in dealing with protection
as it exists. He has been a recognized
leader of his party since he attained his
majority. Mr.. DickinsOn's first vote
was cast for HOratio Seymour.
